Continued British Occupation
- When
- 1783–1796
- Where
- Disputed border area including Detroit
Despite the cession, Britain held the disputed border area with forts and trading posts for another decade.
Although Detroit had been ceded in 1783, the disputed border area remained under British control with several military forts and trading posts for another decade. British forces did not fully withdraw until 1796, so the transfer of actual possession lagged roughly thirteen years behind the formal cession.
